MANAGING AND CUSTOMIZING YOUR DRIVE – 41

Setting the Drive Sleep Timer

The drive sleep timer turns off the power to your drive after a certain period of inactivity

to conserve power and minimize long-term wear on the drive.

To specify the inactivity period for the sleep timer:

1. On the Drive Settings screen (see Figure 17 on page 30), click Sleep Timer to display

the Set Sleep Timer dialog:

2. In the Turn off Dr ive box, select the inactivity time interval at which you want to turn

off the drive.

3. Click Set Timer to save and implement your sleep timer selection.

Erasing Your Drive

To erase your drive:

1. On the Drive Settings screen (see Figure 17 on page 30), click Drive Erase to display

the Erase drive dialog:

2. Read the warning about the loss of data if you erase your drive.

3. Click the I understand check box to signify that you accept the risk.

4. Click Drive Erase to erase your drive.

Note: In addition to deleting all of the data on your drive, erasing your drive also

removes your password. If you created a password to protect your drive,

you will need to do it again after erasing the drive. (See “Password

Protecting Your Drive” on page 29.)

CAUTION! Erasing your drive permanently deletes all of the data on your drive.

Always make sure that you no longer need any of the data on your drive before

erasing the drive.
